It is only a matter of time before we see Itachi again. I mean, his goal is to capture Naruto .. who is currently on the move and battling with the Sound.

If Itachi is truly bent on his capture, while Naruto is moving .. Itachi and Hoshigaki are most likely doing the very same thing.

Off-topic, but .. while I am confident Kimimaro will fight Naruto, it would be fairly exciting to see Kimimaro with this powerful Earth ("Gaia&quot seal go against an arriving Itachi.

.. Rock Lee could beat them both blind-folded, though.

Ninja vanish.
